I couldn’t help myself...

Ended up buying a new AV cabinet so I’d have room for speaker stands. I did try SCM11’s on the stands but proved too much for the room, so reverted to the SCM7’s. Have now got the sub integrated properly so it all sounds rather nice...☺️

Hi Rob

Either way your room and system looks good *smile*

Anyway as discussed i’ll be in touch with you regarding the SCM11’s next week.

All the best

It does. It's rare for a 5.1 system to look nice :)

Its making me want to try the SCM7s as a part of my quest for improved stereo :)

Hi Sliced Bread

Rob’s room and system have always looked good. It’s been a pleasure to deal with him and supply him with the Hegel and ATC’s *smile*

Custom Design speaker stands here too for use with Dutch & Dutch Studio 8c. Look great *smile*

Btw, RX-A3060 is a good match with curved SCM7 passive monitors.

All the best

Nowhere. Never will be

It wasn’t that long ago that elsewhere you were openly offering to buy as many new H190’s from me at less then a third of RRP around £1k.

Anyway please let me know if you can provide me with a new H190 at £800. Btw, just to clarify the H190 will be for my personal use *smile*

Then it’s worth a listen then. :)

Would the scm7 be ok in a room that’s 17ft by 12ft or am I better off with the scm11?

Thanks

Hi Sliced Bread

Nice one.

curved SCM11’s should do the trick however if possible to make sure please also try both in situ.

All the best

Where are they available (in-stock) for this price? Not just advertised but available?

Nowhere. Never have been. Never will be, except maybe many years from now as a second hand purchase.

As if we didn't already understand the childishness.
Stick around and enjoy the attention seeking show performance.

The SCM7s would be ok, but I’d say SCM11s in that size room, particularly if they’re replacing your CM8s. Even if you bass limit them in the settings for multi-channel use, the midrange will be better on the SCM11s.

Set ATC speakers full range no matter the size

Not for AV I wouldn’t, personally. Regardless of the speaker, set to small and choose a suitable crossover point to the sub. Eases the load on the speakers, helps them sound better, allows them to go louder - let the sub (and amplifier) deal with the demanding stuff. It’s just a case of finding whereabouts the bass starts tailing off in the room they’re being used in. A more capable speaker allows you a lower crossover point, but you have to weight up whether each 10Hz you drop (for example) is better produced by the speaker or by the sub. The sub will normally be more efficient at reproducing it, but it will be localised to a single point, whereas the speaker output will be weaker, but localised to the speaker producing it. Ideally you want as low a crossover point as the speaker will allow.

The speakers I’m using at the moment would be rough equivalents to the SCM7s, and whilst I have them set to large - and as impressive as they are - I would be scared to turn them up too loud. It suits my listening level though.
